Photochop Help Please
Can anyone help with this photchop exercise. This is my son's W114 280E Benz. He would like to paint it black and take 3" out of the roof. I have tried to 'shop' it but can't get it to look right. We have lowered it by about 3" and I reckon it looks good as it is, but kids being kids and all.........
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Doesn't have to look like a Foose drawing. Cheers Scott

Don't chop it! It looks good the way it is.

Repainting and chopping are the very last two things I would do to that car in that color. It looks good.

Very difficult to create a good black out of this image, (nasty artifacting going on in the blue channel, and frankly, I don't want to spend the time to fix it
 )I sent the yellow one, too, though, to make up for it.

Might as well cut the roof off and leave it at that. As you can see, you'd have to add metal to the center section in 2 directions and invariably the front and rear glass won't fit. Massive amount of work.
Looks stupid, too. I think I'd put the wheel centers in some wider 17" steel barrels and paint them the body color. No caps. |

Chopped, sectioned and lowered. But I wouldn't do it. That classic body style should remain untouched.

Chopping it would be a massive effort. Does he really think he can cut that front and rear glass? The black paint alone would be cool.
